I'm sure many cp'ers will want treliving to walk away from Hudler and trade him at the deadline. But the team is waaaay better with him here.
Ask yourself this, who doesn't have crazy good chemistry with Hudler? His line-mates naturally do, but also brodie in particular. He's our team's WiFi network.

It's tough. Love to retain him because he's an offensive catalyst with Johnny and Monahan and a great leader but he's going to want north of 5 million/yr. Hard to swallow with Monahan/Gaudreau/Bennett extensions coming up. It would be nice to trade Wideman's salary instead, but looking at the depth chart, it's probably going to be easier to replace Hudler, as we're a lot deeper on high potential forwards than Dmen.
